ZOOLOGICAL SKETCHES 



By JOSEPH WOLF. 



MADE FOR 



THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON, 



FROM ANIMALS IN THEIR VIVARIUM. 



EDITED, WITH NOTES, 

 By PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., 



SECRETARY TO THE SOCIETY. 



This series of Drawings was undertaken with the object of preserving a faithful record of the 

 living characters of the most rare and interesting Animals in the Vivarium of the Zoological 

 Society of London. 



In selecting the subjects, particular regard has been paid to those species which exhibit 

 aptitude for acclimatization, either as objects of economic value, or simply as additions to the 

 Exotic Animals which are now so frequently seen in the parks and on the ornamental waters of 

 Europe. 



The Drawings have been executed in Water Colours, after most careful study, by Mr. Wolf, 

 who may be fairly said to stand alone in minute knowledge of the habits and forms of Mammalia 

 as well as of Birds ; and the Lithographic copies, partly printed in colour and then finished by 

 hand, are in such exact fac-simile as to be scarcely distinguishable from the originals. 



The Letterpress, prepared by the Editor, embraces all particulars of interest relating to the 

 general history, habits, distribution, and use of the Animals illustrated in the Plates.
